What does pound-foot per minute measure?

It measures mechanical power as the rate of doing work when a pound-force moves through a foot in one minute.

What is MBH used for?

MBH is used to express heat output or input rates in HVAC equipment, such as furnaces and boilers.

Can I directly compare mechanical power in pound-foot/minute to thermal power in MBH?

While conversions exist, the units reflect different types of power, so comparisons should consider application context.
